Let your LOVE shine!

There are several equations in the bible. One of them is that "God is love," which you can read in 1 John 4:8 It says, "the person who doesn't love does not know God, for God is love."

 

There is another one that says "God is light." You can find it in 1 John 1:5, "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."

 

So if God is light, and God is love, then I would like to propose that light and love are almost equivalent.

 

We read in Matthew 5:16, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

 

But since light equals love (almost) I would like to propose that this verse could be change to read, "Let your LOVE so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Does that make sense?

 

Jesus said, "by this will all men know you are my disciples, in that you have LOVE one for another." John 13:35

 

And from that verse before we just read we find that when we love men will see our good works... GOOD works. What make them good? God is the source of Love, of life, and of wisdom and joy. Love in action results in GOOD WORKS. Godly works.

 

I will have more to say on this later. I found some incredible statements which I am going to share with you. Hang on because the best is still to come.

 

If any one else has anything at all to say about this love of God in us, be sure and email me. I will read it, pray about it, and perhaps even post it to the whole group.

 

Jesus came to demonstrate God's love. And he wants us to love too.

 

Let's DO it. Let us glorify our Father in heaven by loving each other.

 

 

Sincerely,

David A. Youngs
